I missed Wang Zelin's wonderful performance last night. Nel Orsi didn't want to miss it again tonight, so he also came to the away game with the team.
After witnessing Wang Zelin's sky hook, his mind was very clear. Even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar could not become the assistant coach of the Trail Blazers, he must be allowed to become Wang Zelin's mentor!
At least, he must let Wang Zelin fully master the unique skill of sky hook! The latter's potential and training attitude are the best among the players he has ever seen.
The camera temporarily returned to the scene, and the exploding turtle successfully performed what it meant to advance toward the gunfire!
Facing Lillard's defense, Westbrook stepped forward and rushed straight into the penalty area.
Although Wang Zelin made timely defense, his handling of this ball was very extreme. It can be said that he first handed his body to the sky, and then took the shot.
It can be seen that just as Durant hated his previous title of "second in command", Westbrook also feels uncomfortable with his status as the second in charge of the Thunder.
Especially after his elder brother Durant was injured and the Thunder suffered a three-game losing streak, external public opinion became more unfavorable to him, and the more he hoped to use his own way to change people's impression of him!
2:2!
Westbrook succeeded in the throw and the two sides were tied.
Lillard's expression changed. Everyone was wearing No. 0, and he didn't want to be worse than the guy opposite him.
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard has a strong desire to attack, actively signaled to his teammates to pull away, and tried to single out Westbrook.
After continuously praying to Buddha, he also passed the opponent in one step and took a familiar mid-range jumper.
Needless to say, although Westbrook's defense was not as bad as it was later, it was similar to Lillard's now, around the passing line.
Unfortunately, the force of this ball was a little too strong, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
Bang-dang——!
Ibaka firmly occupies the rebounding position, and he is bound to get this backcourt rebound!
"Whoosh!"
But what was frustrating was that he had already taken it off but did not touch the basketball at all.
After a sound cut through the void, someone picked off the backboard above his head and smashed the ball into the basket!
boom---!
A huge force struck, and Ibaka staggered a few steps after landing, and was knocked out of bounds along the way.
"It's Wang. Wang suddenly burst out from the wing. With his superhuman physical fitness, he picked off the rebound over Ibaka's head and completed a dunk across him!"
"To be honest, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Ibaka's positioning on this shot. He has already occupied the most advantageous position, but even so, he still lost... Who made his opponent the king!"
The two commentators looked at this scene in surprise.
"Well done, that's how you should do it!"
"Release yourself to your heart's content and beat Lei Lei down!"
"Give me a chance. I want to have a perfect date with Wang, even if it's just for one night!"
The audience was completely excited at this moment.
In particular, some Hollywood female stars who thought they had good postures completely gave up their proper reserve and expressed their admiration for Wang Zelin without hesitation.
Being young, promising, and without a girlfriend makes him the perfect boyfriend!
After learning from the media that the Kardashian family was eyeing Wang Zelin, many beauties and celebrities became nervous and realized that they could no longer be reserved and it was better to take the initiative, otherwise Wang Zelin might not know whose man he would become...
Ibaka clenched his fists tightly. Although he was humiliated at the beginning, he never thought about giving up!
The Thunder attack again.
Ibaka got stuck under the basket and was ready to challenge Jokic in isolation.
Westbrook passed the ball to him and motioned for everyone to pull away. He lost face and decided to get it back himself!
As for why we should look for it from Jokic instead of Wang Zelin...
Just kidding, Ibaka also understands that you have to pick the weakest persimmons, and playing Wang Zelin in singles is no different from looking for trouble.
However, Ibaka seems to have found the wrong person.
In other words, he slightly overestimated his offensive ability.
Just looking back at Ibaka's career, this guy's best position in offense has always been a role offensive player, and defense is his ability to survive. Don't look at Ibaka's shooting in the past two seasons.
As he improves, he can occasionally shoot three-pointers, but there is a prerequisite for this, which is to catch and shoot at a fixed point.
In addition to occasionally sneaking open balls, Ibaka's main offensive methods are still secondary scoring at the basket and cutting into alley-oops for dunks or layups.
"Bang!"
The two had a physical confrontation, and Ibaka was surprised to find that he couldn't stand up to a mere rookie.
At this moment, Jokic's original problem of being too heavy was turned into an advantage on the defensive end.
"Bang!"
After another collision, Ibaka took advantage of the inertia of the rebound and made a decisive move.
Jokic, who was fully guarding, did not lose his body position. The moment Ibaka lifted the ball, he raised his hands high, completely covering Ibaka's sight.
? Bang Dang!
Shooting and hitting the iron.
"Fight back!"
At this time, Wang Zelin protected the backcourt board and shouted.
Trail Blazers offense.
Batum and Lillard rushed down from the left and right wings, with Westbrook chasing after them.
boom--!
In the end, Wang Zelin passed the ball to Batum. After the latter caught the ball, he took two more steps, entered the paint area, jumped up, and slammed the ball with one arm, making the scene completely boiling.
"Haha, nice buckle!"
Coach Terry laughed.
"ah!!!!"
After Batum dunked the first goal after returning from injury, he was very excited. After landing, he couldn't help but pull his jersey, raised his head and shouted to the sky.
6:2, the Trail Blazers lead by 4 points.
In the first quarter of the game, Batum, who had just come back, was filled with anger. Under the defense of Andre Robertson, he hit two three-pointers in succession, which stunned the latter.
This guy was the No. 26 pick in last year's first round. He is a typical physical man with rough offense and defense. If it weren't for Durant's injury, he wouldn't have played so many games this season.
It was okay to play against ordinary teams before. Facing a top team like the Trail Blazers, except for Westbrook who can match the intensity of the Trail Blazers, only Ibaka can barely be considered half, and several other points plus
The substitutes were all beaten by their opponents.
At 26:19, at the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers established a 7-point lead.
In this quarter of the game, the Thunder lacked sufficient personnel scheduling. Coach Brooks had no choice but to let Turtle continue to play, carrying explosives and just doing...
In fact, Brooks has not thought about letting other players share the offensive pressure.
but……
The ideal is beautiful.
The reality is skinny.
Under Wang Zelin's inside suppression, the Thunder's two short inside players lost most of their skills. After thinking about it, the most reliable one is Guigui.
therefore……
"Russell..."
In front of the Thunder's bench, Westbrook covered his head with a towel. After receiving various encouragements from the head coach, he felt like he was in a rush. He cheered up again without even thinking about it.
Come on, king!
Come on, pioneers!
Either you die tonight or I die!
"Is this what the little blacksmith in Milan said, 'Russell is the only one in the league who is most like me'? It's really amazing!"
In the second quarter of the game, when he noticed Westbrook's gritted teeth and unyielding expression, Wang Zelin immediately gave him a thumbs up.
Although, this move quickly triggered a frenzy from the home team fans...
After all, when an enemy star gives a thumbs up to our star, the taunting effect is very powerful, both in sound and in appearance.
But he swore that his actions were truly sincere.
because……
It is precisely with the existence of opponents who never admit defeat that he can feel the fun of basketball.
In this quarter of the game, under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder successfully resisted the offensive of the Trail Blazers' second team at the beginning...
Most of the quarter passed like this, and Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Batum, who had rested for a full 7 minutes, appeared again.
In the stands, after seeing Westbrook working so hard to get a 5-point lead, which was instantly wiped out and overtaken by the three main players of the Trail Blazers who came up, what countless Lei Mi wanted to say most at this moment may be, "
kd, I miss you so much".
However, the Trail Blazers trio seemed to have no intention of being soft at all. Wang Zelin made 4 of 4 hook shots in less than five minutes, and they were all positional attacks, which successfully caused the Thunder's inside mentality to collapse.
Ibaka and Perkins felt that No. 36 was too arrogant and didn't treat them as human beings.
But... when Wang Zelin came back in the third quarter and still scored consecutively, everyone was stunned. Even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the sidelines found it a bit incredible.
Because he felt that if he continued to watch, he would no longer have the need to guide the other party.
God! This young man...
On the court, Wang Zelin himself felt that he had gone too far, or that the Sky Hook move was so magical. Every time he made a shot, he didn't look at the opponent's defense, it all depended on his own touch!
At the end of the third quarter, when Wang Zelin was substituted, the audience subconsciously looked at the LED screen in mid-air and were completely speechless...
17 of 22 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, 39 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks!
Are you planning to score 50 points again?
Speaking of which, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 2.18 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.33 meters. The point at which he makes every hook shot is enough to make every opposing player despair.
Especially if you want to block shots from the front, it is simply impossible to reach the sky. It is equivalent to Ou Shenxian running for the president of the United States...
Wang Zelin is 2.16 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.31 meters. Their shooting points are almost the same. Their ultra-high shooting points also make defensive players desperate.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the two strongest defenders Ibaka and Perkins he faced tonight are both around 2.08 meters tall. They are both standard power forward figures. They are defending a 2.16 meter center.
It's not an easy task in itself.
Fortunately, Ibaka has a wingspan of 2.27 meters, while Perkins has a wingspan, so let’s not mention it...
But even when Ibaka faced Wang Zelin, who was sideways playing hook, he probably couldn't help but frantically greet Wang Zelin's relatives.
Are you valuable?
Entering the final quarter, Wang Zelin once again became the most handsome boy in the game.
Looking at Westbrook, who still looked resolute and decisive, his expression became more and more serious.
Look, even an opponent who is more than 20 points behind is still working so hard to chase points. What qualifications does he have not to try his best?
Therefore, under the joint defense of Ibaka and Perkins, Wang Zelin, who was hooked to death, staged a one-on-one one-on-one game in the final quarter, scoring 12 points in a row.
Hong Kong is really...
If it hadn't been for the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the score reached 112:71. Seeing that the team had already beaten the opponent by 41 points, even the head coach couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Wang Zelin, who was getting darker and darker.
It might be possible to hit 60 points in a single game tonight.
Beep~
After the Blazers called a timeout, the scene was silent. Everyone's eyes were on No. 36, and his various data so far were quickly displayed on the big screen:
51 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks!
Back to back 50 in a row!
Wang Zelin became the first active player besides Kobe Bryant!
This time, the fans had an orgasm on the spot.
However, our protagonist is sitting on the bench reluctantly now, and he is still muttering something with his mouth pouted. At first glance, it is a mysterious number, vaguely like:
